self guided tours take you through nearly 300 yrs of military history in the New York area very informative.

If you have an hour or two worth a stop in. Has exhibits from the Revolution, WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam...plus others. Nice museum store.

I was impressed by the displays and how much New York has contributed to the military history of the United States. Also the building is beautiful. This museum very helpful and friendly. Except for the 9/11 Memorial with photos of the New, USS New York (LPD-21) it was disappointing that there was no mentioning of any NYS National Guard response to events in Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. etc. Otherwise 5 stars would have been appropriate rating.

I've been to this museum a few times and there are always new exhibits to see. There are some exhibits that are a part of the permanent collection and display while some other items are swapped out from time to time. The large middle area of the room is where they set up temporary displays from various time periods. Currently, the main temporary exhibit is all about Gen. Benedict Arnold and it does a great job of presenting all of his amazing heroic accomplishments all the way to his downfall and national disgrace. The permanent displays around the perimeter of the divided room include Revolutionary War displays, Civil War displays, 19th Century conflicts, WW1 and a decent WW2 era collection. They have rotated Korean, VietNam, and Middle Eastern conflict displays from time to time but those aren't currently out unfortunately. I really enjoyed the OIF and OEF displays that I took part in on my previous visit but unfortunately, those aren't on display at this time. That really is my only complaint about this place, it's too small to properly present all of these historic military treasures all the time.One of the interesting times to visit here is during their annual Night at the Brewseum fund raiser event that really is a small beer and wine fest inside the museum. The next one is coming up at the end of this month! The M4 Sherman tank that they used to have behind the museum was sent out for restoration a couple years ago and is now ready to come back as soon as this darn snow melts. It will be placed on a concrete pad out in front of the museum once it comes back this Spring. Being an Army tanker myself, I'd love to see more armored vehicles become part of the collection here!

This is worth stopping into just to get an idea of the varied military history of NY state. The staff is very helpful and ready to answer any questions. A great destination.

We've been before, and it keeps getting better. The Civil War and WWII exhibits are excellent. They were very helpful with question we had.

If you are a history buff, this is your kind of museum. Very interesting and informative. Excellent displays. Certainly worth the price of admission.
